NB! This site is also the official webpage of the Anarchist International Security Council (AISC), see footnote *****).

AI - IFA - IAF is rooted
back to the 1st International's (i.e. the International
Workingmen's Association) conference at Saint-Imier, in The Swiss
Confederation, 15-16.09.1872. At this conference it was decided
an anarchist resolution denouncing all forms of political power,
i.e. political/administrative and economically broadly defined.
Also a solidarity and fellowship pact was decided upon by the
delegates. The anarchist international had meetings several times
during the years passing by.

The Anarchist
International (IFA) was reorganized at a congress in Carrara (Italy)
31.08-05.09.1968. The purpose of the congress was, among other
things, to create a world wide anarchist organization as an alternative to "Cohn Bendit et autres gauchistes", also called
"the children of Marx". Anarchists were tired of people
presenting basically marxist ideas as anarchism. In the following
years, several congresses were organized.

In 1997 the term Anarchist
International (AI) was officially
introduced, although mentioned several times before, say, in International
Journal of Anarchism, IJ@
no 10/26 (15) in 1985. The constitution of the Anarchist
International AI was officially confirmed on the International
Anarchist Congress, i.e. the 5th Anarchist Biennial, arranged by
the NAC/IFA/AI in Oslo medio December 1998. The AI is a broader
organization and network than the IFA anarchist federations of
some countries in the South and North. The International
Journal of Anarchism,IJ@,
is the only officially mandated and publicly registered organ of
the Anarchist International AI-IFA-IAF. A documentary on the
IJ@'s mandate is presented below on this file. The different
sections and federations of the Anarchist International world
wide are presented at (click on) Links.***

The Anarchist International AI/IFA's main policy, a bit simplified, is in general to increase the libertarian degrees of countries, i.e. their economic-political systems, as much as much as possible, in the world in a dynamic perspective. Sometimes this implies a struggle to prevent a decline in the libertarian degree as much as possible, namely when other factors pull in the negative direction.AI/IFA puts some extra weight at a) the 3 anarchies of today, i.e. Norway, The Swiss Confederation and Iceland, and policy towards higher anarchy/libertarian degree in these countries, as they are only anarchies of rather low degree, b) to get more countries to be anarchies, e.g. of them relatively near anarchy today, c) and to improve the situations and hike the libertarian degrees in the most authoritarian - least libertarian countries. In all cases AI/IFA concentrates on situations with significant momentum, e.g. popular revolt and more or less revolutions, in libertarian direction. Anarchys is real democracy, documented at Real democracy defined, i.e. including human rights, see Anarchism and human rights.
We are not imposing any system. The
people, among them anarchists, make their own anarchisms (systems) in general voluntarely. An opposite of system in this context is ochlarchy (mob rule broadly defined), including chaos, i.e. non-anarchist. Freedom is a basic anarchist principle. We are for freedom.

Anarchism is, among other things,
based on dialog and free, matter of fact, criticism. It is the IJ@ editorial
group's mandate to spread the Journal of the Anarchist
International to all anarchists etc. world wide, to keep up the
dialog and free, matter of fact, criticism in the libertarian
network.

ANARCHISM DEFINED

A special anglophone language problem
and a brief definition of anarchy and anarchism

The words anarchy and anarchism are a bit
problematic. Sorry to say, anglophone languages are
very much twisted in an Orwellian "1984" "newspeak"
way, to fool the people via the education to worship
authority, compared to Nordic language, say,

Thus in English/American the words 'archein (Greek)
= herske (Nordic)' is translated to B. "rule" = to
be an arch etc., but "rule" also is used as A.
'regel' = "rule" (i.e. rule(s) in the meaning of
relatively fixed way(s) to settle things, disputes and conflicts
in an orderly way, i.e. regulations and regulatory means = regel/regler).
And thus, due to using one word to mean two very different
things, i.e. A. and B, the anglophones are forced in an
authoritarian way to think very much false and wrong about
realities, with respect to anarchy, freedom and authority, that
the Scandinavian people are not to the same extent. See the point! Anglophones
are very much fooled by the authorities in this way, thus you
probably cannot easily think free, but like a slave via
psychological ruling, to think authority = ruler is
necessary to keep order. In Norwegian a situation "an (without)
arch(y)" "uten hersker" may very well considered
to be with 'regler' because "hersker" = rules, and
"regler" = rules, are quite different words. This
is very difficult to understand with an anglophone basis.

C. Furthermore the Greek word "an" is not
meaning "without" in general, but just as "an"
in anaerobe and similar words, i.e. "an" means without
what is mentioned in the suffix, but keeping what is essential in
the matter, i.e. management in the meaning of
coordination related to anarchy. Thus the whole
thing gets often mixed up in the anglophone sphere, the language
falsely forcing people to think that rule and rulers are
necessary to settle things in an orderly way.

D. To fix this linguistical/language problem in a simple way, we mainly use the word "rules" in the meaning of one or more rules in case A, and the words "rule" and "ruling" in case B, unless something else is mentioned. We will now present a brief definition of anarchy:

The word "anarchy" origins from Greek. The original meaning, that everybody should stick to, is the following: The prefix "an" means "negation of", as in anaerobe vs aerobe, anandrous vs -androus, anhydride vs hydride, etc; i.e. "an" means without what is mentioned in the suffix, but keeping what is essential in the matter. The suffix "archy" means "rule (not rules or law), ruler, rulers, superior in contrast to subordinates, etc.", from Greek "archein", "to rule, to be first"; and "archos", "ruler" i.e. in a coercive, repressive, etc. manner, slavery and tyranny included. As mentioned "an" means without what is mentioned in the suffix, but keeping what is essential in the matter, i.e. in this case management in the meaning of coordination, but without ruling. The 'ruling' is not essential, but an evil alienation, i.e. bestiality. Bestiality is especially the hall-mark of systems with more than 666 per thousand (ca 67%) authoritarian degree, see map above. [The term “ca” is an abbreviation for the latin circa, which means about or approximately.] Thus "Anarchy" doesn't mean "withoutcoordination, management, administration, etc.".

Anarchy is management, coordination and administration etc. without ruling and thus without rulers. NB! Remember D. Anarchy and anarchism also of course have and use regulations and regulatory means when necessary and optimal, i.e. significant selfregulation. That anarchy, means an-arch-y, i.e. management and coordination without ruler(s), not just "without rule", a vague term that superficially may be interpreted and manipulated in a lot of inconsistent ways, i.e. non-authoritarian as well as authoritarian, must never be forgotten. "An" means "without" as in an-aerobe, etc, "arch" means "ruler(s)" broadly defined, and "y" in this connection stands for system, management, coordination, as in monarch-y, oligarch-y, etc. The "an" is connected to "arch", not "y". Thus (an-arch)-y means without arch, but not without system, management, coordination, it means (an-arch)-system, management, coordination. In short an-arch-y = (an = without arch = ruler(s)) y = management.

E. Anarchism
is political systems and organizations coordinated as anarchy
in the above meaning and manner, but also the political
tendency advocating anarchy understood this way, and the scientifical
knowledge about anarchy and the ways to reduce non-anarchist
tendencies.

Anarchism is a modern sociological
science broadly defined

Anarchism is a modern sociological
science, this is a basic principle of anarchism declared by
Pjotr Kropotkin in "Modern science and Anarchism"
1903, and still valid anarchism:"Anarchism is an attempt to apply to the study of
the human institutions the generalizations gained by means of the
natural-scientific inductive method; and an attempt to foresee
the future steps of mankind on the road to liberty,
equality, and fraternity, with a view to realizing the greatest
sum of happiness for every unit of human society. This method it
applies to all the so-called humanitarian sciences, and, availing
itself of this method as well as of all researches which have
recently been called forth by it... Anarchism endeavors to
reconstruct all the sciences dealing with man, and to revise
every current idea of right, justice, etc., on the bases [=
methodology] which have served for the revision of all natural
sciences.

Whether or not Anarchism is right in its
conclusions, will be shown by a scientific criticism of its bases
[i.e. the anarchist principles in general, the basic libertarian
working hypothesis and theories updated] and by the
practical life... But in one thing it is absolutely right: in
that it has included the study of social institutions in the
sphere of natural-scientific investigations; and makes use of the
method by which modern natural science ... were developed. Owing
to this, the very mistakes which Anarchism may have made in its
researches can be detected the more readily. But its conclusions
can be verified only by the same natural-scientific, inductive-deductive
method by which every science and every scientific
concept of the universe is created. Anarchism does not
recognize any method other than the natural-scientific.
No struggle can be successful if it is an unconscious one, and if
it does not render itself a clear and concise account of its aim...
[The method is a part of Anarchism]: Perhaps we are wrong
and they are right. But in order to ascertain who is right,
it will not do either to quote this and that authority, to refer
to Hegel's trilogy, or to argue by the "dialectic method."
This question can be settled only by taking up the study
of economic relations as facts of natural science. Whithout entering into
further discussion of the principles of
Anarchism and the Anarchist programme of action [called
Anarchist praxeologi, human action research, today], enough
has been said, I think, to show the place of
Anarchism among the modern sociological sciences." [Thus
Anarchism is a modern sociological science broadly defined,
including political economy etc, based on the methodology of
modern natural sciences.]

Anarchism is an updated research
front based on the natural scientifical method

Furthermore in the book "Modern
Science and Anarchism" (1903) a.o.t. Peter Kropotkin
declares - and gives the reason why -
anarchism is defined as an updated research front of libertarian
social scientifical research, using the methods of modern natural
sciences, i.e. mathematical relations, statistics etc.
Anarchism: "Itsmethod of investigation is
that of the exact natural sciences, by which every scientific
conclusion must be verified... (using) ... the concrete language
of natural sciences, -- so we proceed in dealing with the facts
of social life... --not by the
dialectic method, but by the natural-scientific
method, the method of induction and deduction...
We had better give up using the sonorous words which only conceal
the superficiality of our semi-learning. In their time the use of
these words was, perhaps, unavoidable -- their application could
never have been useful..No struggle can be
successful if it is an unconscious one, and if it does not render
itself a clear and concise account of its aim...

Perhaps we are wrong and they are right.
But in order to ascertain who is right, it will not do either to
quote this and that authority, to refer to Hegel's trilogy, or to
argue by the "dialectic method." This
question can be settled only by taking up the study of economic
relations as facts of natural science.
Whithout entering into further discussion of the principles of
Anarchism and the Anarchist programme of action, enough has been
said, I think, to show the place of Anarchism among the modern
sociological sciences. Anarchism is an
attempt to apply to the study of the human institutions the
generalizations gained by means of the natural-scientific
inductive method;and an attempt to foresee the
future steps of mankind on the road to liberty, equality, and
fraternity, with a view to realizing the greatest sum of
happiness for every unit of human society. In Anarchism there is
no room for those pseudo-scientific laws with which the German
metaphysicians of the twenties and thirties had to consent
themselves. Anarchism does not recognize any
method other than the natural-scientific.

This method it applies to all the so-called
humanitarian sciences, and, availing itself of this method as
well as of all researches which have recently been called forth
by it, Anarchism endeavors to reconstruct all the sciences
dealing with man, and to revise every current idea of right,
justice, etc., on the bases which have served for the revision of
all natural sciences. Whether or not
Anarchism is right in its conclusions, will be shown by a
scientific criticism of its bases and by the practical life....
But in one thing it is absolutely right: in that
it has included the study of social institutions in the sphere of
natural-scientific investigations; has
forever parted company with metaphysics; and
makes use of the method by which modern natural science ....
developed. Owing to this, the very mistakes which Anarchism may
have made in its researches can be detected the more readily. But
its conclusions can be verified only by the same natural-scientific,
inductive-deductive method by which every science and every
scientific concept of the universe is created."

This basic principle of Anarchism,
[i.e. the hypothetical deductive method, see Scientific Method ] per definition or seen as a methodological working
hypothesis, is still valid and confirmed on all later anarchist
congresses discussing this question in a scientifical, matter of
fact, way. This libertarian, scientifical, way of thinking
and research, praxeology i.e. human action research included, is
the way to settle disputes, make action programs based on the
anarchist principles in general, and develope anarchism further,
- it is the basic methodological framework of anarchism and the
Anarchist International. The other basic principles of anarchism
are presented and discussed at (Click on) System theory and economic-political map
and via links of this web-site.

Anarchism vs other -isms defined by
the most basic principles

The most basic principles related
directly to Kropotkin's definition of anarchy, anarchism and
social sciences in general, as an updated research front, are the
following:

( 2 ) Archies may be expressed as x-archy, where
x is one of a set of systems characteristics of archs, say, (
mon, olig, poly, plut, ochl, matri, patri, hier, etc; but not an)
or a logical union of several x-es reflecting different forms of
archy/archies as opposed to anarchy/anarchies, i.e. the negation
of x-archy = archies.

( 3 ) Possibility of anarchy. It is assumed that
these terms reflect concepts that may be defined in a way that
anarchy is not impossible in reality, i.e. the amount of
anarchies in real terms is greater than the empty set, zero.
Anarchy is matter of degree = tendency. Anarchy, i.e. an
anarchist social system, may have 100% or a significant degree of
anarchy, i.e. less than 100%, but above a given significant level.

( 4 ) Significant anarchist tendency = anarchy.
As anarchy is the negation of x-archy it may not have any amount,
i.e. significant tendency towards or of, x-archy. Thus anarchy may
have zero or insignificant tendency towards or of archies. The
significant level is defined on aggregated dimensions.

b)
The economical dimension measures socialism vs capitalism, where
the degree of capitalism is the tendency towards or of economical
archies (x-archy) and the non-economical dimension is autonomy vs
statism, where the degree of statism is the tendency towards or
of political/administrative archies.

c) Along these two
dimensions different forms of anarchy and archies (x-archy), are
measured and mapped. The degree of socialism = 100% - degree of
capitalism. The degree of autonomy = 100% - degree of statism.
Socialism and autonomy are defined as insignificant degree of
capitalism and statism respectively, and capitalism and statism
is defined as significant degree of statism and capitalism
respectively. Thus, socialism and autonomy are defined as
significant degree of socialism and autonomy, and capitalism and
statism are defined as insignificant degree of socialism and
autonomy respectively .

( 6 ) Anarchism and other -isms. Anarchy is the
negation of archies related to the economical and political/administrative
dimensions, i.e. socialism and autonomy. Capitalism is economical
plutarchy, including hierarchy and may be other x-archies broadly
defined in an economical context. Statism is political/administrative
monarchy, oligarchy, polyarchy, ochlarchy (mob rule), the archies
of rivaling states within the state, i.e. chaos; and the tyranny
of structurelessness i.e. disorganization, and/or political
plutarchy, and it may also include other archies, say, being
matriarchy, if the main rulers are women. Furthermore

Libertarian (in the meaning of 'libertaire' (french) or 'libertær'
(nordic)), and real democracy (realdemocracy) are synonyms for
anarchist, anarchy and anarchism. Anarchy and anarchism are
sometimes called the third alternative, social form, or way. (This
must not be mixed up with Tony Blair's non-anarchist "third
way = neue mitte" of Gerard Schröder, or Adolf Hitler's
"dritte reich".)

Archies (x-archy) are defined equal to authority and State/government in societal context. Thus authority and State/government in societal context are liberalism, fascism and marxism broadly defined. And thus anarchy and anarchism are systems without any authority and State/government, in societal context, i.e. economical and political/administrative, also called political broadly defined. These societal, political concepts of state/government and authority, must not be mixed up with statism and the authoritarian degree, as defined related to economical-political mapping. Furthermore insignificant tendency towards or of State/government is not State/government, and insignificant tendency towards or of authority is not authority, but anarchy and anarchism.

( 7 ) Significant level at 50%. Anarchy has less
than 50% tendencies towards or of archies, x-archy, aggregated on
the two relevant dimensions, on a scale from 0 => 100%. Thus
more than 50 % tendencies towards or of archies, x-archy of
relevant x-es, aggregated on the economic and/or the non-economic
dimension, are not anarchist, not anarchy. Thus anarchy has 100-50%
degree of socialism and 100-50% degree of autonomy, and archies
have less of one or both, i.e. more than 50% degree of capitalism
and/or statism.

( 8 ) Anarchy defined: Anarchy and anarchism
mean system, coordination and management without ruling and
rulers (not without rules). i.e. co-operation without repression,
tyranny and slavery, and archies mean system, management and
coordination with ruling and rulers, i.e. the negation of anarchy
and anarchism. From greek 'an', as in anaerobe vs aerobe, i.e.
keeping what is essential of the object, (in this case system,
management, coordination) but without the special characteristic
mentioned in the suffix, i.e. 'arch', ruling and ruler(s), from
archos (ruler) and archein (ruling, being first).

( 9 ) Not totalitarian: The question of
anarchism and anarchy vs archies is limited to the societal
political-economical systems' management and coordination. What
is interesting in anarchist perspective is whether or not the
economical-political system has authority, i.e. ruling and rulers
- or not, with respect to the societal managent and coordination.
Other uses of the words anarchy vs x-archy and anarchies vs
archies are principally irrelevant to anarchism, and should in
general be avoided.

(10) Not valid concepts. Concepts as anarcho-archy
= anarchy-x-archy in any form, meaning system, coordination and
management "both with and without ruling and rulers" at
the same time and place, are not allowed for, because such
concepts are contradictive, and thus are nonsens and not logical
and scientifical, because this is in reality not possible, and
anarchism and anarchy are about realities. Thus anarcho-marxism,
anarcho-capitalism = anarchy-plutarchy, anarcho-ochlarchy,
anarcho-chaos, anarchy = chaos, anarchism = anarchy = minimal
state or libertarian state, state in general, anarcho-statism,
anarcho-authority, etc, are nonsense and not valid concepts, but
confused Orwellian "1984" "newspeak" that is
not anarchist, but authoritarian, i.e. chaotic, and should be
avoided.

These axioms should be seen as fertile working hypothesis, not dogmas or absolutely truths. (IIFOR)

Briefly defined State in a broad societal meaning is systems with significantly large rank and/or income differences and inefficient, i.e. significantly vertically organized. Anarchies are systems with significantly small rank and income differences, plus efficiency, i.e. significantly horizontally organized.

In addition to these axioms and most basic principles of
social sciences, anarchy and anarchism and other -isms, other
principles of policy defining authority more precise and concrete
in a societal context, structural and functional, performance
included, must be introduced, and the significant level of
anarchy vs archies must be calibrated for applied and practical
research and analysis. This is a.o.t. discussed on the file (click
on:) System theory and economic-political map, search for
'calibration' and 'principles'. The axioms (1) - (10) are
consistent with the economical-political maps below:

*) The stars indicate the position of the
Norwegian economical-political system after the revolutionary
change in 1994/95.

Summary: Anarchism and anarchy defined

1. Anarchy and anarchism mean "system and management without ruler(s), i.e. co-operation without repression, tyranny and slavery". In short an-arch-y = [(an = without - arch = ruler(s)) - y = system (included optimal order and law) and management, as, say, in monarch-y]. Anarchy and anarchism are efficient and fair system and management without top heavy societal pyramid economical and/or political/administrative - in income and/or rank, i.e. significant horizontal organization - real democracy.

2. The Economic-Political Map

The anarchy degree is 100% - the authoritarian degree within the anarchist quadrant. (Esquerda means left, and direita means right. The star indicates the Norwegian economic-political system after the velvet anarchist revolution in 1994/95.)

4. The word anarchy origins from Greek. The prefix "an" means "negation of" as in anaerobe versus aerobe and "arch" means "superior, i.e. in contrast to subordinates", as in archbishop, archangel, archduke, arch villain, etc. NB! Any villain, ochlarch/ist, is an arch vis-a-vis the victims. Thus anarchy, anarchism, anarchist, a.s.o., mean coordination on equal footing, without superiors and subordinates, i.e. horizontal organization and co-operation without coercion - practically (significant, > 50% anarchy degree) or ideally (towards 100% anarchy degree). This is the opposite of the above mentioned authoritarian tendencies, i.e. different types of superiors and subordinates - in general ochlarchy.

5. Ochlarchy is typical with more than 67% authoritarian degree. Anarchy has equal to or more than 50% anarchy degree. Anarchy is organization in general without (significant) arch(s), but not without management. The influence on the management, economic and political/administrative, in private and public sector, goes in general more from the bottom - the grassroots - upwards than from the top downwards. At the middle-point of the map the influence from the bottom is 50%. At the top of the map, the anarchist ideal, the influence from the bottom is 100%, or the organization is without top, 100% flat. Norway, The Swiss Confederation and Iceland are anarchies of low degree (anarchy degree > 50% but less than 60%). Other countries are more or less authoritarian (significant, > 50% authoritarian degree).

INTERNATIONAL ACTIONS

AND ARRANGEMENTS:

THE ANARCHIST INTERNATIONAL

Anarchist International support action for the
social-individualist anarchist Julian Assange and WikiLeaks

Julian Assange, the main spokesperson for the news-organization WikiLeaks, is social and individualist as well as progressive, and may thus be seen as a social-individualist anarchist. As many social-individualist anarchists he does not use the label 'anarchist' about himself, at least not so far... But he 1. has 02.12.2010 been called anarchist on CNN, and more, 2. has a strong co-operation with -- and support for -- the social-individualist Anarchy of Iceland, 3. is mainly acting as an anarchist, a.o.t. a) for a free press -- against the media as a 4th power of the State, b) doing whistle-blowing against authorities, and c) works for libertarian human rights, and thus 4. practically certain is a social-individualist anarchist. To see an interview with Julian Assange about his main policy and activities click here!

The ochlarchy (mob rule broadly defined) against Julian Assange, a) falsely calling his whistle-blowing and other libertarian press-activities criminal, b) smear-campaigns with probably false accusations of rape in Sweden, c)
people calling for his assassination
and d) much, much more mobbing, e) must stop. Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, and their news-reporting, have full support from the Anarchist International and the Anglophone Anarchist Federation, and AI & AF have 02.12.2010 launched an international solidarity direct action for Julian Assange and WikiLeaks. AI & AF call on all anarchists world wide, and all others that read this resolution, to join in the world wide support action. AI & AF demand continued freedom for Julian Assange and WikiLeaks!!!

The Anarchist International sees the music etc. of FABS as an important source of inspiration for anarchists, anarchism and anarchist action, in a global perspective. The Anarchist International protests against the tendencies of harassment of FABS from the capitalist - economical plutarchist - Internet online shops, although the five major albums of the FABS per 2011 are represented in these shops for listening and buying internationally, see (click on:) FABS. The Anarchist International calls on all anarchists world wide, to support FABS, the Federalist Anarchist Beat Society, by spreading information about the band and their music, and buying their records. For more information, see (click on:) FABS. At this Website you will find information about the band and their music, etc. and also links to international Internet online recordshops for each of these five albums.

THE ANARCHIST INTERNATIONAL

The guidance of the world - look to the three anarchist, real democratic, countries... and the Anarchist International

Solving the economic recession problem

We accept no leaders of the world, be it USA, Russia, EU or China. However guidance is a must. Look to the three anarchist, the only real democratic, countries of the world, Norway, Switzerland and Iceland, guided by a.o.t. the Anarchist International and IIFOR. They will probably be the first to solve the economic recession problem, balancing 1) Total demand nominally = (Price level)(Labor productivity)(Total labor force). Where 2) Total demand nominally = Public and private consumption + Public and private real investment + Export - Import, 3) Price level = (1 + Inflation %/100) and Labor productivity is national product volume per employed, averagely, and inflation is measured by the price index for the national product. How to achieve this aim? Read A SHORT NOTE ON THE GENERAL THEORY OF ANARCHIST ECONOMICS: GENERAL THEORY . Anarchies have the best conditions to do proper demand management. The other most libertarian countries should follow them in coordinate efforts to solve the recession problem. The rest of the world should also join in. The sooner the better! Proper demand management now!!!

THE 25 HIGHEST RANKING COUNTRIES ACCORDING TO LIBERTARIAN DEGREE ETC.
SYSTEM ANALYSIS

Syria and Mexico - A mainly marxist collectivist project with relations to the Kurdish marxist-nationalistic terrorist organization PKK, called Rojava, is established in and around the city Kobane in the north of Syria. Similar to the mainly marxist collectivist project Chiapas in Mexico, Rojava has no support from the Anarchist International. Both Rojava and Chiapas have more then 50 % authoritarian degree already, located far left in the collectivist sector in the marxist quadrant of the the economic-political map, and will most likely develop to more than 67 % authoritarian degree, as the "Soviet Union" after the Russian revolution - a totalitarian system. Persons supporting the Rojava and Chiapas projects are the "useful idiots" of marxists.

These documents and other updates on anarchy.no were decided with general consent as resolutions from the congress, i.e. the 14th Anarchist Biennial.

New, updated book on the
history of FAI/IFA, the Iberian Anarchist Federation

A new book with the
History of FAI, the Iberian Anarchist Federation, affiliated to
IFA, celebrating the 75 years anniversary 2002, is now
published, by FAI-group "Albatros". The book is an
update of CNT's Juan Gomez Casa's earlier book Historia de
la FAI, and is also including items and material not
mentioned in the old book. The book may very well be used
for study circles and further discussions and work on
historical research of anarchism. The volume has 300 pages, costs
9 euros plus shipping costs; and may be ordered via the link to
the orderform below.

The mandate of IJ@, seen historically, is close
connected the history of "Folkebladet" and to the
foundation of the Northern section(s) of IFA/IAF, the Anarchist
International. The foundation of the Northern section(s) of IFA/IAF
started with the affiliation of the Anarchist Federation of
Norway. This is documented, among other things, in the Bulletin C.R.I.F.A,
the official organ of IFA at that time. The "Commision de rédaction
de bulletin CRIFA 145 Rue Amelot 75011 Paris France" and
"C.R.I.F.A. Umberto Marzocchi Casella Postale no 22 17100
Savona (Italia)" were responsible for the publication. C.R.I.F.A.
is the "Commission de relations de l'internationale des fédérations
anarchistes". In C.R.I.F.A. Bulletin no 39 avril-mai 1982 p.
10 the following was reported:

A note about the founding date: "Foregangsgruppa
i ANORG" - the interim group in the Anarchist Federation,
rooted back to Kultursyndikatet, the Culture Syndicate in
the late 1960'ties, had worked for several years as a loose
network to found an anarchist federation, without semilibertarian
marxists and liberal/individualists. Foregangsgruppa was
formally founded 13 Mars 1977. This group did a lot of work to
join the forces of the different groups and individuals of the
anarchist movement, and after a wide debate, arranged the
statutory general meeting of the federation, "stiftelsesmøtet",
Tuesday 13. September 1977. Thus, Anarkistføderasjonen i Norge (AFIN)
- Anarkistenes Organisajon (i Norge) - ANORG, the Anarchist
Federation of Norway, was finally founded 13.09.1977. Folkebladet
was founded in 1971, and had been the organ of different groups,
before it became the organ of the Anarchist Federation. It had
also been distributed internationally, mainly in Scandinavia.

The affiliation to IFA recorded in Bulletin C.R.I.F.A.
no 39 avril-mai 1982, was confirmed in a letter from C.R.I.F.A.
Umberto Marzocchi, dated 12th of May 1982 and another letter 09.11.1982.
The first letter also urged the first Nordic Anarchist Congress.
The term "Nordic" means Northern, i.e. in the North in
general, as confirmed on a later congress.The Northern
section(s) of IFA was founded at the first Nordic anarchist
congress in Oslo, 15-18 October 1982.The
Bulletin C.R.I.F.A no 42 novembre-février 1982 declared :

(There were a Spanish (p. 4) and an English (p. 5)
report in this issue of the Bulletin C.R.I.F.A, but the Spanish
version seems to be the most correct of the two, compared to the
Swedish and Norwegian reports printed in Folkebladet, and other
material. Thus we will quote the Spanish version here. Where the
English version is more precise, this is noted in [...] brackets):

The conclusion of these documents recorded in
Bulletin C.R.I.F.A no 39 avril-mai and no 42 novembre-février
1982, is that the Anarchist Federation of Norway - Anarkistføderasjonen
i Norge (AFIN) - Anarkistenes organisasjon (i Norge) ANORG, was
affiliated to IFA/IAF from 15.01 1979 with the organ "Folkebladet",
and that the Northern Section(s) of IFA was/were founded and
affiliated to IFA/IAF 15-17.10.1982, with the bulletin
"IFA-Solidaritet", IAF-Solidarity, published
in close connection to Folkebladet. The Northern section(s)'
affiliation to IFA, was/were also confirmed on later IFA-congresses
arranged in Oslo, and documented in issues of Bulletin C.R.I.F.A
and IFA-Solidaritet, the two officially and mandated organs of
IFA at that time. Furthermore, there were no opposition to these
decisions recorded in the Bulletin C.R.I.F.A and IFA-Solidaritet,
so they were decided by general consent *) .Some
of the new Northern sections of IFA, i.e. the Danish, the Swedish
and the Finnish, were in one years time refounded as IFA-federations,
i.e. in 1983. This was unanimously decided upon by a general
ballot, referendum, among the members of the Northern sections.This
is recorded in IFA-Solidaritet, which was distributed to the
other IFA/IAF-sections, among other things, via the C.R.I.F.A.
The documents also imply that the IFA-secretariate in Oslo was
not considered as a sub-secretariate to C.R.I.F.A, but on equal
footing, i.e. as commissions for the Northern and Southern
sections respectively.

In 1983 there were 4 Northern (Norwegian,
Swedish, Danish and Finnish) and 3 Southern federations (French,
Italian and Iberian) in IFA/IAF plus the UAB (Bulgarian Anarchist
Union) and the Northern sections outside Scandinavia. In the
following years the Bulletin C.R.I.F.A declined in number of
issues and quality, and it was necessary to do something to keep
up the anarchist international information service. In 1984
Folkebladet and IFA-Solidaritet were gathered in one publication,
and the name International Journal of Anarchism
was introduced. At the same time the distribution started to
develop world wide, not only in Scandinavia. Also "Brand",
the Swedish anarchist paper of AFIS/APF, and later "International
Journal of Organization Research", the organ of IIFOR, were
included in IJA.

Since the IJA is a direct follower of
Folkebladet, the volumes of the journal are counted from the
founding of Folkebladet in 1971. Thus, issues of the volumes are
noted as the number of the issue, plus the volume number, say 1 (31)
for the first number of the 31st volume, i.e. year 2001. These
changes were also confirmed on the later Northern IFA congresses.
During the last part of the 1980ties the Bulletin C.R.I.F.A
declined further, and finally finished publishing. Thus
International Journal of Anarchism became the only officially
mandated and publicly registered organ for the anarchist
international IFA/IAF and the anarchist movement in general. The
international journal registration number of IJA is ISSN 0800-0220. In 1996 IJA was introduced on Internet,
and since 1998 it has been an electronic online-journal,
distributed on the Internet and/or by e-mail world wide to
anarchists and others with interest of anarchist information.
There will however also be issues on paper distributed to IFA-sections
and others interested in anarchy, anarchist(s) and anarchism
internationally, that do not have access to e-mail or internet.
IJ@ is also the organ of the International Anarchist Tribunal,
founded in 1982.

The mandate for the International Journal of
Anarchism, in addition to what is mentioned
above, is similar to the mandate made for the Bulletin C.R.I.F.A.in
the old days, decided by the International of Anarchist
Federations IAF/l' Internationale des Fédérations Anarchistes
IFA, (see Bulletin C.R.I.F.A no 42 novembre-février 1982 p. 2)
updated to the modern IT-age:

We call again the decisions that have
been taken at congresses of the Anarchist International IAF/IFA.
After a long discussion about the development of IFA/IAF, and the
best way to maintain links between the anarchists in the world,
the next points have been decided:

- The IJ@ will be sent to the whole
international libertarian movement (organizations, papers,
reviews,...);

The IJ@ will be written in several
languages: French, English, Spanish, Scandinavian, etc. and
articles should be provided with an English summary. The summary
may be omitted if the article is short and written in English;

- Circulars will be sent to the sections
to discuss particular points and to convene reunions of work;

- Reunion of work convened by the joining
sections, with summary in order to prepare these reunions. An
objective of these reunions are to prepare new conferences of
international campaignes.

- Internet and e-mail are suitable means
to reach these ends.

In 1997 the term Anarchist International was introduced. This is a wider concept than the IFA/IAF meaning the affiliated federations. There are also sections and federations for anarcha-feminism, green/eco-anarchism, anarcho-syndicalism, affiliations to the Community Action Network, CAN, and the Anarchist Black Cross, ABC, and for collectivist and communist/commune anarchism; social-, social-individualist and federalist anarchism, as well as individualist and mutualist anarchism, since 1982. The Anarchist International is based on the IFA/IAF-federations, i.e. mainly in Europe, but also includes groups and individuals that are anarchists or interested in anarchist information broadly defined all over the world. The constitution of the Anarchist International AI was as mentioned officially confirmed on the International Anarchist Congress, i.e. the 5th Anarchist Biennial, arranged by the NAC/IFA/AI in Oslo medio December 1998. In the later years the networkmembers/subscribers have been more and more global, no longer mainly in Europe.

Thus, the Anarchist International is a) a non-sectarian,
non-dogmatic, non-dialectical and non-metaphysical broad based,
including - and not expulsing - organization and network, b)
covering all libertarian tendencies, where c) everybody on equal
footing, coordinate, and co-operative without coercion, from each
according to ability - to each according to need - may contribute
to the research front of valid anarchism via the method
of modern science, introduced by d) Kropotkin**, and based on
research, consistency, skepticism, dialog, and free, matter of
fact, criticism, in short e) the anarchist scientifical
way of thinking. A short summary of the updated, consistent,
research front on anarchism is found at System theory and economic-political mapwith links, and
at IIFOR's homepage Web of IIFOR
. A basic course to easily be updated on the research front on
anarchism, according to need, is presented at AIUF's homepage at
Anarchist International University Federation.

The purpose and aim is among other things to work
stand by for one affiliated anarchist federation in each country,
based on these principles, so the International may be a really
anarchist alternative to the UN, i.e. for the whole world.
Furthermore the IJ@ is distributed not
only to libertarians, but to "the people, anarchists
and authorities world wide", including the
international newsmedia. This is to inform the world of
resolutions from anarchist-congresses, -conferences, -seminars, -tribunals
and other activities, and to organize common actions to promote
more anarchy and less authoritarian tendencies in the different
countries.

The AIIS - Anarchist International Information Service at www.anarchy.no, is the main international anarchist news-agency of today, and it is also engaged in the fight for anarchism world wide. AIIS, named "Anarkistenes Informasjonstjeneste - AIT" in Norwegian, was officially founded in 1994 by AIUF/AU, and established on Internet in 1996. In 1997 the AIIS was taken over by the AI/IFA-secretariate in Oslo, that had been doing media and information work all of the time since the founding in 1982, continuing the work of the secretariate of AFIN since the founding in 1977, with different mandates and staff. As mentioned the constitution of the Anarchist International AI was officially confirmed on the International Anarchist Congress, i.e. the 5th Anarchist Biennial, arranged by the NAC/IFA/AI in Oslo medio December 1998. At this congress the AIIS was mandated to be the offical newsagency of the Anarchist International. The AIIS is industrially and with respect to copyright a co-operative branch of IJ@ ISSN 0800 - 0220. (Source IJ@ no 5 (31), The history of AI-IFA-IAF and AIIS, see links on this page). ****)

*) As mentioned above the founding and
membership of the Northern IFA-sections 1979-1982/3 were accepted
by general consent throughout the rest of IFA,
and thus it was of course not on the agenda at
the congress in the South, i.e. Paris, 1986, as a few have
misunderstood, where four elected delegates of the Northern IFA-sections
participated by phone and written material was sent in advance,
with the resolutions from the 4th IFA congress in Oslo, i.e. in the
North, earlier same year, - (and not later).

**) This method, the scientifical anarchist way
of thinking, was mainly introduced by Peter Kroptkin in 1903-13
in the book "Modern Science and Anarchism", but
indicated in a more vague way already by Pierre J. Proudhon in
the middle of the 19th century. Later on this method was
developed further by, say, Frisch, Haavelmo, Santillan, etc.

***) We have seen some weird stories on Internet produced by Jamal Hannah et. al. that IJA is not a real organ of the Anarchist International and IFA/IAF a.s.o. This is probably rooted back to some intrigues against the Northern sections of IFA-IAF from some of the Southern federations (not the Spanish). To set things right we have made a documentary on the mandate of International Journal of Anarchism and the Anarchist International Information Service stating the facts by real historical documents, so everybody for themselves can confirm the truth about the mandate, and see that we are not posing, but the real ones. We are sick tired of these intrigues and will in this way try to put and end to it.

In 1986, at the fourth IFA-congresses in the north, and in the south where NAC, The Northern Anarchist Confederation's four federations participated by phone, the southern IFA-federations, the French, Spanish and Italian turned leftwards at the economical political map due to leftist-marxist tendencies.They thus left the anarchist quadrant on the economical-political map. The three southern IFA-federationas turned out to be "the children of Marx". (The Bulgarian Anarchist Union, UAB, was not a federation, but an authoritarian group, and thus not recognized by the International Anarchist Tribunal as a member of IAF-IFA.) This leftist-authoritarian position of the southern IFA federations made it necessary to reorganize the IFA to save it from the marxist- leftist positions. Thus, the majority of the IFA federations, the four northern, decided to reorganize the IFA, and started the Anarchist Biennials, a series of international anarchist congresses, the first one in 1990.
The three southern IFA-federations and their secretariate were suspended by the majority of the federations, the four Northern, and the International Anarchist Tribunal, see IAT - Mandate , and the resolutions of their later congresses were disallowed, included the one in 1990. The suspension and the disallowance of their congresses will remain until the marxist-authoritarian tendency of the southern IFA-federations is removed. So far this has not happened. Thus the resolutions from their congresses from the fifth in 1990 and later are disallowed, due to significant marxist authoritarian tendencies. The latest statement (2007) from the Southern IFA/IAF federations against the Anarchist International is a.o.t: "The main problem is some lunatic in Norway". Thus they state that people that do not agree with them are lunatic, just like in the Soviet Union. This only confirms that the Southern IFA/IAF federations are marxistoid communist/collectivist on the economical-political map, and not anarchist. We can assure you that the about twenty persons working parttime for the AI/IFA-secretariate in Oslo are not lunatic, and neither are the rest of the Anarchist International.

The Anarchist International is a broader network than the IFA/IAF-sections in the north and south. The Anarchist International is a global, undogmatic, free thinking, nonsectarian modern anarchist international, with sections for anarchoindividualist, anarchocollectivist, social individualist and mutualist anarchist and anarchocommunist as well as green/ecoanarchist, anarchosyndicalist and anarchafeminist anarchists. The Anarchist International has about 2000 networkmembers/subscribers, groups and individuals, of which about 500 are in the northern sections of IFA/IAF, i.e counted without the Southern IFA/IAF-federations. The Southern IFA/IAF is a dogmatic, sectarian communist "anarchist", leftist marxistoid organization with little interest for the Anarchist International. The Southern IFA/IAF is more communist than anarchist, i.e. collectivist on the economical political map. Outside the anarchist quadrant on the map, far left in the marxist quadrant.

****) Decision making etc. of the Anarchist International. At the International Anarchist Congresses, the Anarchists Biennials, the International Congress-Seminars on Anarchism, starting with the first one in 1990, a fixed point of the agenda is election of the AI-secretariate and another fixed point is the updates of www.anarchy.no since last congress. Resolutions and decisions from earlier congresses that a) are not ended and b) not are objects for changes and updates, are c) automatically confirmed and are considered still valid, as resolutions from the present congress. Between congresses the AI-secretariate, AIUF, IIFOR, IAT and the editor group of IJA, are mandated to update the www.anarchy.no, also taking into account contributions from the AI-network broadly defined according to anarchist principles, according to decisions of the International Anarchist Congresses, i.e. the Anarchist Biennials, the International Congress-Seminars on Anarchism.

Resolutions with
typical scientific content, i.e. testable hypothesis, are decided after discussion and investigations, scientific testing,
including logic consistency tests, and evaluation, and of course, not by voting. To vote on typical scientific questions is like to "decide" by voting whether the earth is round or flat, or if 2 +2 is 4 or 5, and should be avoided. If the hypothesis/resolution after this is confirmed, the resolution is said to be decided by general consent or unanimously decided upon. However research principally never ends, and the hypothesis or theories may still be up for further discussions, investigations and testing, say, at the next biennial. Typical administrative economic-political resolutions, as for example a budget, may preferably be decided by general consent, say, after discussions and negotiations, or by voting, they can also be decided unanimously.

Resolutions may also have both a) a typical scientific part, and b) a typical administrative economic-political part, then each part is decided respectively as indicated above, to make the whole resolution. In general questions and resolutions considered controversial or for other reasons seen as fit for a wide public debate, are presented at the anarchist-debate fora at www.anarchy.no before decided on congresses or published in IJA or published at other relevant places on www.anarchy.no. In general the decisions and the decision making should a) secure a high academic quality and competence, and b) be efficient and fair and according to anarchist principles in general, see www.anarchy.no, c) especially notes etc. about decisions and rules of decisions at Industrial organization etc, Basic Course, AI-secretariate, AIUF, IIFOR, IAT-APT, Anarchy Debate, Real democracy and IJA.

Groups and sections of AI/IFA in general are independent and have autonomy, i.e. have freedom within a framework decided by the the International Anarchist Congresses, i.e. the Anarchist Biennials, the International Congress-Seminars on Anarchism. Such framework may include checks and balances,
accountability,
anarchist principles and mandates and similar. NB! As almost all significant activities of the Anarchist International AI/IFA and its sections are reported on www.anarchy.no, checks & balances and
accountability are easy to confirm and for all to see world wide, not only by the network of the Anarchist International - AI/IFA & its sections, and at congresses.

*****) The AISC. This Website is also the official webpage of the Anarchist International Security Council (AISC). This council was established as an informal network in 1978 by the Anarchist Federation of Norway (AFIN) related to ochlarchistrepression by the use of force from communists of AKP (ml), now Rødt, at May Day demonstrations. The council was expanded in 1979 when anarchists were violently attacked by rightwing extremists. The security network was confirmed on several international anarchist congresses later on, related to IFA. The AISC was officially confirmed as a world wide libertarian security network connected to the Anarchist International, at the 5th Anarchist Biennial, arranged by the NAC/IFA/AI in Oslo medio December 1998.

The structure of AISC is decentralized with no central command and no central committee. Most of the networkmembers of the Anarchist International - AI/IFA and its sections are de facto acting generals ... all on equal footing - none above -- significant; and also networkmembers of the vast Anarchist International Security Council - AISC, i.e. world wide. The term acting generals indicates functions as general as well as ensign and rank and file soldier, self-managed on collective and individual basis. Acting generals of AISC are entitled to the use of 1 black & red star as rank symbol in duty, the sign of an ensign, and also called "one star general". Legitimate use of this star is always confirmed by the Anarchist International. The AISC takes care of all kinds of security functions, and may be a bit
shadowy
in some of them. One function is to act as revolutionary pilots, as mentioned by M. Bakunin, mainly related to velvet revolutions and revolutionary changes. AISC has freedom within a framework decided by the International Anarchist Congresses, the Anarchist Biennials of AI/IFA.

The strategy and tactics of AISC are based on the following facts: Anarchists in general are not pacifists. Anarchists are never terrorists. No real anarchist has been a terrorist historically. The strategy, tactics and practice of AISC are libertarian including mutual aid, compatible with real democracyand based on direct actions, i.e. withoutochlarchy (i.e. mob rule broadly defined - terrorism is a form of ochlarchy). Thus, although AISC usually is involved in non-violent resistance, it may be violent, but only in legitimate and proportionate self-defense. The AISC is involved in the anarchists' general fight against ochlarchy, and contributes to guards at demonstrations, etc. In the rare case an AISC-networkmember, claiming to be libertarian/anarchist, is acting as an ochlarchist/ochlarch or in other ways is acting authoritarian, the networkmember will get a Brown Card from IAT-APT according to the Oslo Convention, and thus be expulsed from the anarchist/libertarian movement, etc.

AISC is no vigilantes/borgervern, paramilitary organization, armed militia, military organization, uniformed organization, secret agents, a
conspiracy
or organized crime, or a so called black bloc/block (i.e. fascistoid and/or commie-fascistoid, violent non-libertarian and ochlarchist paramilitary & militarist hierarchies). AISC is a 100% legitimate self-defense network, as mentioned based on mutual aid, and it is an antimilitarist organization and thus of course not militarist and not for militarism. But also of course many networkmembers of the AISC have legitimate weapons for hunting, sports and self-defense, on individual basis, as well as significant training in self-defense and martial arts broadly defined. Most networkmembers of the AISC have also significant education and training from regular armed forces in their home countries at different rank levels, some also as
lieutenant commander, colonel or even higher rank. However in AISC all have only one black & red star, are "one star generals", also called "ensign-generals". The AISC has also similar functions as the United Nations' Security Council (UNSC) for the anarchist movement and the libertarian world, 'le monde libertaire', and also somewhat related to the world in general. The AISC also contributes to prepare cases for the International Anarchist Tribunal, IAT-APT.

The AISC is also a junction between the libertarian movement and regular antimilitarist corps (or similar regular corps) of different countries and their defense organizations. AISC also gives advice in security matters on local and national level, as well as to the international community, at relevant time, place and events. The AISC is inspired by a.o.t. the works of Sun Tzu interpreted in a libertarian way, i.e. , say, the term "sovereign" is interpreted as the people, seen as a class as opposed to superiors, and not a ruler/rulers [x-arch(s), where x can be anything but not 'an'], etc. Remember also at the historic time of Sun Tzu there were no airforce, cruise missiles, nuclear bombs and similar. AISC is also inspired by George Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia". See Antimilitarism - an anarchist approach - IJA 2 (38), The International Conference on Terrorism - IJA 4 (31) & Socal justice and security and www.anarchy.no in general, for more information about the organization and self-management, as well as strategy & tactics and practice, of AISC.

AISC-LOGO

Interpretation of the logo: An anarchist @-sign (= Anarchist & A) with the flash to the right meaning I (= International), the flash to
the left meaning S (= Security) and the C in black at the circle (= Council) , thus AISC - the Anarchist International Security Council.
